When Mendel performed di-hybrid crosses (i.e. pea color and pea shape) what did he find in the F2 generation?     He found that traits were linked together, such that if an individual was homozygous recessive for 1 trait it would also be homozygous recessive for the other trait     He found a set of intermediate phenotypes in the F1 and F2 generations for each trait     He found one trait could return in 25% of the offspring but the other trait did not     He found that each trait was inherited separately from the other trait, indicating that traits are randomly assorted

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
